ABOUT US
Cross Trails Hostel opened in June of 2021 under the ownership of Potomac Area Hostels Inc. (PAC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The property has operated as a youth hostel since the early 1970s and has accommodated thousands of travelers, hikers, and cyclists worldwide.
​
We aim to be a hub for adventure. Our Mission is to promote understanding of people, places, and cultures through outdoor recreation and education.
Harpers Ferry and the surrounding areas are jam-packed with things to do. Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline rush or a romantic dinner date, you have options. Towering cliffs and whitewater rafting are just down the road, but so are wineries, brunch, and history tours if that's more your speed.
Staff - Cross Trails Hostel wouldn’t be possible without our team of incredible volunteers and staff members. Collectively we have logged thousands of miles on foot, bike, and boat across the world’s trails and waterways. As experienced outdoor enthusiasts ourselves, we’re all here to promote the spirit of adventure and offer advice when we can. So whether you’re looking to hit the trail, somewhere to grab a bite to eat, or take a dip- we know the area and can orient you in the right direction!
